long remain in Los Angeles after the

returned north. But before he went,

Chico's wife was heir to the Bailey
estate. She was in reality the
strange boy" who, as the old nurse
said, Ought to have been girl"
In fact, Seflora de Bailey and old
Dolores had entered into compact to
cheat the good Thomas with the be-

sheep sought the grateful shade OF
the clusters OF oaks which here and
there studded the plain. For so warm
was this December that midday often
drove the sheep TO shade.
The house was like many OF its
kind in those days. There are few of
them left now. It was of ample dinen-
sions. It's structure was OF the most
simple. For this climate it would be
difficult to devise anything more COM
Portable. 1t was almost square and
stood over 5ox50 feet on tbs ground.
A long and ample hall ran through
its center from the broad front veran-
da more than half way back. On one
side OF this hail was the large dining
room OF the family, with its great
yawning Fireplace, where the big
logs blazed and sputtered on
the colder nights OF the winter. In
the rear the hail led into the dining
room where the generous board
seemed always spread i'll hospitable
welcome for half the neighborhood TO
come wnen they might choose. The
sleeping apartments were arranged
around these two common rooms or
Off from the hall. The big roof
spread far out over the walls and en-
closed a liberal vcranda on all sides Of
the house. Up the pillars crept
wealth OF bloom and leaf which
only the Scmi-Tropics can boast.
Even on this Christmas Day whose sto-
ry we are totell the roses were as bright
and large as in June. The heliotrope
was rs fragrant AZ in Summer, and the
callas around the fountain before the
door lifted into the warm sun cups Of
spotless white and Of astonishing
growth. All around the great mount

But there was another feature about
our heroes life of marked popularity.
He always had had u strong predilec-
ton for the company OF girls. Yet as
he grew near To man. estate he never
showed the least preference for one
girl above another. While others had
their sweethearts Tomaso never
seemed to single out any one in par
ticiilar. He used TO laugh off all ques-
tionings and jests on this head in an
amiable way.
ooh" he would say, 'EI love all the
girls" And ii pressed further he
would say: "Well, 1 love Cousin
Chico too well so waste any OF my af-
fections on Il girl. He always takes
my part and have to love him with
all my heart"
At this time Chico was some twenty
years old, alN Tomaso some two or
three years younger. Chico had q
sister, another Carmen Of Tamaso's
own age almost to a day. They had
been constant companions since their
earliest childhood and closely attached
in their friendship. And yet with the
DOy 10 Wdiiicf ieelIIlS tlti biab vi
friendship seemed ever to stir his
heart. But in the case OF the
girl it WAS evident that
that strongest of all possessions, the
love which now and then springs up
between those who grow up SO closely
related, had taken firm possession OF
poor Garments soul. When Tomaso's
indifference or GOODNESS to the fair sex
was the subject of jest, while all the
other girls laughed as lightly Us did
Tomaso himself, Garments cheek lost
its color, her eyes dropped, and the
laugh which came from her lips was
clearly q most forced and hallow pre-
tense OF amusement.

Gems ana Their Ounns.

In the fourteenth century fanciful
Italian writer on the mystic arts set
forth the virtues of the various gems,
indicating also the month in which it
was proper to wear particular stones
in order 10 secure the best result.
The idea took, and for some time it
was the fashion in several Italian
cities to have the precious stone Of
the ring determined by the month in
which the bride was born.
If in January, the stone was a gar
net, believed to have the power of
winning the wearer friends wherever
she went.
If in February, her ring was set
with an amethyst, which not only
promoted in her the quality of sim
cerity, but protected her from poison
and from slanderous tongues.
The bloodstone was for March, max
ing her wise and enabling her with pa
tience to bear domestic cares.
The diamond for April, keeping her
heart innocent and pure so long as she
wore the gem.
An emerald for May made her a
happy wife.
An agate for June gave her health
and protection from fairies and
ghosts.
If born in July the stone is a ruby,
which tended to keep her free from
jealousy Of her husband.
In August the sardonyx made her
happy in the maternal relation.
In September a sapphire was the
proper stone, it preventing qilarrels
between the welded pair.
In October carbupcle was chosen
to promote her love of home.
The November-born bride wore
topaz, it having the gift of making
her truthful and obedient to her hus-
band.
In December the Turquoise insured
her faitlfulness.
Among the German country folk
the last named stone is to the present
day used as setting for the betrothal
ring, and so long an it retains its color
is believed to indicate the constancy
of the wearer. [-Science Monthly.

CHAPTER vi.
THE STRANGE BOYS WEDDING.

TIE STRANGE BOYS WEDDING.
And now we get back in a rather
roundabout way to where we began.
Within week after the burial OF
Bailey, Tomaso and his mother had
left for San Jose. She stated that it
was desirable for the boy to go to q
better school than Los Angeles could
furnish twenty years ago. At Santa
Clara was a fine college to which a
large portion OF the youth OF the State
was sent in those days.
La Sehora de Bailey had relatives
living at San Jose, and Tomaso was
to live with them while attending
school couple of miles down the
famous Alameda. The mother had
gone with him herself, and had re-
manned with her relatives and the
heir for nearly three months. She
then returned home. Tomaso did
not again visit Los Angeles until tho
day before that Christmas time
when the wedding so often referred to
took place.
Many thought this rather strange.
But when the subject was mentioned
in hearing of old Dolores, she shook
her head-she was very old now--and
she woxld say: "Of course II is
